Hans Pegnitzer (Hanns Pägnüczer) was a 15th century German fencing master. His name signifies that he came from Pegnitz, a group of villages in Upper Franconia (Bavaria), or possibly another location along the Pegnitz river. Though no treatise explicitly authored by him is currently know to survive, his renown as a master was sufficient for Paulus Kal to include him in the list of members of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer in 1470.[1]
The name "Pegnitzer" appears once in an otherwise anonymous treatise reproduced by Joachim Meÿer in his Rostock manuscript,[2] which makes mention of one of his teachings on the use of the poleaxe. However, it is by no means certain that this refers to the same Pegnitzer master, let alone whether he was the author of any part of it.
Treatise
Though no treatise by Pegnitzer is known to survive, the piece attributed to him by Meyer is given below.
[94r] Item nõ mit der mordarum schlecht er obenn zu dem kemplin trit In des auf dein lincke seittenn, aus dem schlag, raput tende deorsum, In des schlag mit vt Pegnitzer. |
